Hi Nathan, Sounds impressive.

Marshal is sending me a sample of the 160 grain 6.5s to try in my 6.5x284, he is doing R&D right now. I should be able to push them to 2900 fps or more from my 30" barrel. The .720 BC is only an estimate but even at .7 at 2900 fps the ballistics are very impressive!! I ran that through a ballistic calculator, and at 2500' ASL, 50 degrees F, with a 10 mph wind from 3 o'clock, at 1000 yards there is 45.2" of wind drift, 1783 fps, and 1129 ft lbs of energy!! I am really excited about these, and i am not trying to derail your thread, just wanted to let you know about these impressive new bullets!!
